Not only has Coldplay’s ongoing “Music of the Spheres World Tour” earned the band the distinction of selling more tickets than any artist on a single trek ever (12.8 million) and being the first band to gross $1 billion – and counting – on a tour, but the excursion is one of the most sustainable of all time. The British rock band announced in June 2024 that direct CO2e emissions from the first two years of “Music Of The Spheres World Tour” are 59 percent less than its previous stadium tour – exceeding its 2021 pledge to reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent.
Luke Howell, founder and director of Hope Solutions and who serves as sustainability officer for Coldplay, is nominated by Pollstar as one of their 2025 Impact 50 Honorees.
